Would you go to this wedding?

[user1483390742]

I have worked alongside someone for a year. We get on well, but I think she views our relationship as a 'friendship', whereas I see it as more of colleagues- we have never socialised outside work.
She has invited me (+1) to her wedding, but no-one else in the office! I was genuinely surprised to be invited, as we don't really know each other that well!
Should I accept graciously and buy a new frock? My BF thinks it is a bit odd as we won't know anyone there. I have never met her fiance and my BF has never met her!

If you want to pursue a friendship with her, then go. If not, then don't.

I would probably show my face at the reception to be courteous..

Polite rsvp that you can’t make it, unless you fancy a party.

I have no particular desire to pursue a friendship- I think we are fine as we are!

We have been invited to the whole day- not just the reception!

Not sure I fancy the party with a load of strangers, to be honest!

I would go but I love weddings and nice dinners.

If you don't want to don't go, but work might be awkward after unless you have a good excuse.

As MNetters always say it's an invitation not a summons...

That's what I was thinking- I don't want things to be awkward in work afterwards. Although others who have worked with her much longer than me might be a bit miffed at not being asked (not my problem, I know!)

You’ve got something very important on. You’ve booked family holiday at that time?

I'd probably just go to the evening party and send my rspv to that effect.

Say you've got something else in during the day but will come at night. If you don't turn up to the evening do she'll probably not even notice.

Perhaps she doesn't have much in the way of family & friends and is trying to have people around her on her day who she likes?

I'd go.
